Tourist flow to Assam increasing

GUWAHATI, March 17: The flow of tourists to Assam has been steadily rising following an improvement in the law and order situation in the State, an official release said here today, reports PTI. Foreign countries have recognised the very fact that the law and order situation in Assam has registered tangible improvement over the last few years and have therefore started to revise their Travel Advicer for willing tourists, the release said. The British Deputy High Commissioner in Kolkata John Mitchiner has in a letter informed Chief Minister Prafulla Kumar Mahanta that their Travel Advice would no longer counsel tourists against travelling to Assam and would amend the Travel Advice provisions accordingly.
